Chapter 518: Daimyo
Su Xiao looked around. The expressions of the people around him changed dramatically.
The thoughts in his head also abruptly changed their vector. Su Xiao quickly realized that he couldn't fight on this ship. He didn't care if innocent people got hurt because of this fight or not, the main thing for him was this ship, because without it, he wouldn't be able to leave this place.
However, if Su Xiao left this ship, he would obviously set off immediately.
Glancing sideways at Nao not far away, Su Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared in the next moment.
Once behind her, Su Xiao squeezed her neck with one hand, and an alchemy bomb appeared in his other hand.
— Decided to take a hostage? The Anbu shinobi asked without even moving.
— Let me go, kh-h~... However, Nao didn't have time to finish, as a white ball was stuffed into her mouth. Nao tried her best to resist, but her weak body couldn't break free from Su Xiao's shackles.
— If you dare sail without me.".. The ship will boom, " Su Xiao said and snapped his fingers, then released Nao and prepared the bomb for immediate activation.
Nao clutched her stomach and fell to her knees. The burning sensation in her stomach made her realize that this guy wasn't joking.
After that, Su Xiao looked at the Anbu shinobi. His opponent hadn't made a single move since his appearance. There were only two reasonable explanations for this. The first was that he was very strong and thought that Su Xiao wouldn't be able to escape, and the second indicated that he was waiting for reinforcements.
Su Xiao was more inclined towards the second option. Considering that the ship was supposed to leave the city in a matter of minutes, this shinobi obviously decided to show up and slow down the ship's departure for as long as possible.
As for destroying the ship, he wouldn't dare take such a serious step.
This ship was under the patronage of the Daimyo, and now Nao, a very popular singer, was on board..
The Hidden Mist Village was certainly one of the powers of the Water Country, but the Hidden Mist Village wouldn't dare provoke the Daimyo. The Hidden Mist Village received most of its funds from the Water Country Daimyo, so if they somehow managed to anger him, their already dire situation would become even more dire.
Daimyo in the world of Naruto were the names of those who ruled the country. They were somewhat like company presidents, and the shinobi villages were just branches of their huge company to them.
Daimyos did not participate in the shinobi village wars. After all, these were often local skirmishes between shinobi. Each village had its own rules, but there was one rule that all villages had — it was forbidden to touch, much less try to kill, the Daimyo of an enemy country.
The hatred between villages had nothing to do with the Daimyo. Hidden Mist Village and Hidden Leaf Village might be at war with each other, but the Daimyos of the two countries where the two villages were located might be on friendly terms at this time.
While dozens and hundreds of shinobi died in wars, the Daimyo did not change. After all, they controlled vast resources, and they also had the corresponding power, but often they didn't even have to use it.
But this model of government ended after the Fourth Shinobi World War. After that, each village began to develop its own economy.
The Anbu shinobi in front of Su Xiao was clearly stalling for time, waiting for his companions to arrive, so Su Xiao, realizing this, stepped on board the ship, jumped onto the pier nearby, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The Anbu Shinobi chased after him without any hesitation.
— Set sail! The fat man immediately yelled.
— Nao's breathing was very ragged. Although she didn't know what she had just swallowed, there was one thing she was sure of. She was sure that she would die immediately if they dared to sail out of the city.
— The fat man's eyes were wide open, and his expression didn't bode well.
— We can't set sail, I, I... I'm going to die!
— Eh? " The short, fat, middle-aged man almost went crazy when he heard this.
Naturally, Su Xiao wouldn't rely on just one bomb. The large wooden box that he had carried earlier was actually filled with a huge live dog, not all sorts of supplies.
----
The Anbu shinobi walked quickly through the crowd, his nose twitching under his mask.
He used his secret technique that he had mastered earlier. With it, he could detect the scent of the right person.
Previously, he was able to pick up Su Xiao's scent, and it was thanks to this ability of his that he was able to find Su Xiao.
— At the front... No, he went left, that way, " he muttered, and sped off in the direction of the alley. Since it was now nine o'clock in the morning, there were almost no people in the alleys near the houses.
Most of the people who lived in this city lived by fishing or selling seafood.
The Anbu shinobi continued to track Su Xiao's scent, and just as he turned into another alley, a cold flash lit up his face.
*Pouf*
He was pierced through the eye by a sword blade. His body twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Su Xiao only frowned. He didn't die, for what he had just pierced was only a water copy.
He used the substitution technique plus the water body technique, two low-level ninjutsu, but it was thanks to them that he was able to avoid death.
Fights in this world will not be so easy. Almost any shinobi in this world has already killed far more than one person, and, of course, has gone through several dangerous battles with all the resulting pros and cons.
After pushing the body out of the water, Su Xiao looked around, but he couldn't find the location of the Anbu shinobi.
— On the roof of a private house nearby, the Shinobi placed hand seals, and the surrounding area gradually began to fill with thick fog.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker. Everything in front of Su Xiao's eyes turned white, but he just started to test the space around him with his perception, however, due to the fact that this fog was made up of chakra, it wasn't as easy to probe the space around him as before.
*Whew-whew~*
— Very well.
— Everyone's already arrived?
— Now five, we have to stop him.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, was still standing motionless in the thick fog. Voices were coming from all directions, making it impossible to determine the enemy's position.
According to these words, there were five of them, but this could obviously be a trap.
— Water Element: Water Dragon Projectile Technique.
— Viscous water mass.
The water dragon rushed towards him, and at the same time, the ground beneath Su Xiao's feet became soft.
The two techniques fit together perfectly. One was to hold Su Xiao back, and the other was to attack him.
*Boom*
The long sword along with the soil flew up and fell to the ground.
— Killed him?
— The breath was gone.
— Weapons are also on the ground.
There were three shinobi standing in the fog nearby, not five.
They tried to keep their distance from Su Xiao as they were aware of his terrifying melee abilities.
*Jin*
The three shinobi simultaneously sensed the danger and jumped back.
One of them felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder. He didn't even have time to realize when a tiny thread bit into his shoulder.
As Su Xiao wound his way through the streets, he kept leaving behind faint threads.
After jumping down from the roof, Su Xiao yanked his hand and a Dragon Flash flew up from the ground and landed right in his hand.
*Ding*
An Anbu shinobi tried to cut the thread. Although Su Xiao couldn't figure out where this ninja was at the moment from the sound due to the effect of this fog, he could determine its location from the vibration. Five of his fingers were wrapped in threads, and each finger was responsible for a different direction.
